You can also pull that list up by searching on freshports.org for  
ports with the maintainer set to ports at freebsd.org

http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=maintainer&method=match&query=ports%40freebsd.org&num=10&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search

That search currently returns 4633 ports all waiting for someone to  
adopt them
